Men as the 'Beauty Police"

This topic is not about the fact that men are looks-oriented. It is not about what size/shape/type is most popular in their eyes. And it is not to say that ALL men are guilty of this but.....
Men often think that if a woman is unattractive in their eyes, it means that the woman is "ugly" in general. A woman will say, "He is not my type, I am not into shorter guys, I prefer blue eyes". But men will most often say, "She is just not good looking", "She is a dog".
I hate to tell you, guys, but you may not like the way someone looks, but someone probably does.
Do these men get a power trip being the "authority", or are they just so closed minded that they think no one could see something differently from them?

Not all of us are that way. I tend to like petite women but I recognize beauty in all women.

Just my opinion, since I'm not a guy, but I know plenty of them!...
I don't see men as feeling authoritative or on a power trip, but as just voicing their opinion. Just another difference between the genders....but then again maybe not! I know women who say things like ick, he's too gross. I see people of both genders acting both ways!

IMO i think men are just more direct with their words and women just flower things over more....same meanings just said differently.....
but heck i've always been accused of being too direct and i'm more visual than most women are when it comes to looks and i know it....but it doesn't make me an a$$ like some women or even men thinks it does....lol...so i can't find fault in how some one else decides what they are interested in because i choose not to.....

There was a thread a couple of months ago titled " Are You Sexy", and I think you'll find in it that all of the men that answered it don't fall into the catagory mentioned by the OP.
Saying that, there are a lot of men that think that way, I've certainly met plenty of them in my time.
And, as I used to say to an ex-gf of mine many many years ago: "You're not perfect, but you're perfect for me".

Men often think that if a woman is unattractive in their eyes, it means that the woman is "ugly" in general.
I have to disagree with you on this - big time! If I find a woman unattractive, I have always considered that I am only speaking for myself, and that particular woman is only unattractive to ME. If you look around, there are so many people in this world that I think any one of us might find unattractive, yet they are happily paired with a wonderful mate. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
On a similar note, I have noticed with myself that someone, to me, might be "somewhat attractive"...or even just "plain, average." BUT...if something inside of that person really sparks my interest, all of a sudden that woman is THE most gorgeous creature God ever created. Perhaps not to the rest of the world - but then, I don't care what the rest of the world thinks - but to ME she's the most beautiful thing in the world. If this is a character flaw in me, it's certainly one that I would love to keep!

I don't think they're really thinking about what other guys think. It's an opinion...to them, that woman is a dog. They're not going to analyze how others might think.
Women just tend to take more care in emphasizing that the man could be attractive to someone else. Guys...well, it simply doesn't register on their radar to think differently.

 Well I wouldn`t get arrested by the beauty police then cause I`m plain..nuttin` beautiful about me..and no I`m not down on my looks..just stating facts..if someone said I was ugly then I`d just have to say, "Ever look in a mirror or have you cracked them all already?"

My Father taught us that there is something attractive about everyone. Maybe some of the younger crowd fights for the hot cheerleader, or handsome quarterback, but as "some of us" get older, beauty is much more than that. At least if we have any brains at all.
I still think both genders are guilty of judging and making statements-it isn't just the guys.

I don't know if this fits, but I'm kind of tired of my life and what happens in it being determined by how I look day to day.
I'm tired of people treating me differently when I dress nicely or wear makeup.
I'm tired of my mother bugging me when I want to wear my pajama pants and a sweatshirt to school because I don't "look nice". It's school, I could care less if I look nice. I like 2% of the people that attend the school, anyway. Who do I need to impress?
It gets old after awhile. I'm still the same person whether I'm wearing crappy clothes or nice ones.

I know how you feel, hun.
(it might be a diff thread, but hey-we're still talking about what people conceive as beauty)
But if it helps-most parents are like that a little bit. Mine were, I was.

If you think about it, men are probably more generous in our judgements of women than other women are.

Depends...I think we're tougher on ourselves than anyone else could be, of either gender. The women I know are usually each others' cheerleaders, coaches and support teams...but a lot of men I know are that way too. Guess I just mostly ignore the rest...

Do these men get a power trip being the "authority", or are they just so closed minded that they think no one could see something differently from them?
Isn't it a given that they are only speaking about themselves? Does tacking on a "in my opinion" really change things that much?

It doesn't matter to me whether or not someone finds me attractive. What does matter is how I feel about myself.............and 95% of the time.....I'm confident and enjoy life............can't say 100% because I'm not perfect

It is not that men do not register that she could be attractive to someone else, it is just a difference in how men and women communicate. In the end we mean the same thing, that to us that person is not attractive.
Men make a general statement to establish what they feel, women make a point to personalize it.
Men say: "This bed is too hard"
Women say "This bed is too hard for me."
It means the same thing.
In most aspects women and men are equally shallow
